    300tdi coolant thermostat transfer “elbow” sensors

    I looked in the parts book and could not find the sensors, just the coolant manifold. I am on travel now, so I can't look at my manifold w/ switches, but I think there were part numbers engraved on the brass part of the switches. You might be able to search those numbers and come up with something.

    Clutch Fluid

    From what I gather, the powerspring sold by LOF is a stronger spring than what comes on the TD5 clutch pedal. So it reduces the pedal effort even further.

    Clutch Fluid

    This is on my project list. LOF has on their website: 1. Does the POWERspring fit my DEFENDER? The LOF POWERspring will fit Defender models 300TDI, TD5 and also TDCI PUMA vehicles. In order to double check that it will fit, simply take a look at your clutch pedal: If the clutch pedal arm is a...

    Where Is This Leak?

    I had a horrific leak on my 300TDI that started about 50-100 miles after a full rebuild. I ended up pulling the pan, replacing the t-seals and rear main with a rear main from Turner. I didn't think it was worth my time to do the rear main and not the t-seals in-case I was wrong. I have put a...

    Wheel bearing advice

    If you are doing a Salisbury rear with the outer seals also, the number is FRC8222. It took me a while to find that number.

    EMP-proof Defender

    I am going on my limited knowledge of EMP's, but I thought they mainly destroyed electronic devices, not all electrical things. Being that a fuel stop solenoid is electrical, and does not have any solid-state components in it, I think the 300TDI as built is EMP proof. You might end up with a...

    FS/FT four XZL's one old XZT and wheels

    I am selling my old set of four Michelin XZL's and one REALLY old XZT on ANR4636 wheels. Four of the wheels are painted black on the outside, but still white on the inside. The XZL's are in pretty good shape, the XZT is good as a spare under a tire cover, but I would not run it on the road. I am...

    Same here. I placed an order on Saturday. I received an e-mail today that all three gauges I ordered were backordered and they we canceling my order. I ended up buying all three on Amazon. I ended up paying a little more, but Amazon listed all three of them as being in-stock (VDO Vision EGT...

    WTB - LT230 input gear bearing housing

    Yep. I had an older non-cross drilled input gear and replaced it with the newer one. Even with the older gear there was some free-play. With the proper one and new gear I was able to shim it correctly for the bearing pre-load. Funny part of that is that I ordered the input gear shim kit from...

    WTB - LT230 input gear bearing housing

    As promised, here are pictures of both bearing housings. The one I needed is thinner and is for the right gear. I pressed in the outer bearing race with a shim, checked the end-float, did some math to set the pre-load and removed/replaced the outer race with the proper shim installed. Everything...

    WTB - LT230 input gear bearing housing

    Dave from Ashcroft said that the one I should be using is thinner. What I take that to mean is that the bearing race is closer to the input gear. That makes sense to me as with the wrong bearing housing I would need a lot of spacers on the outer side of the bearing race. So many (or technically...
